I would like to know what other players think about the placement of these leased vehicles in the Italian tech tree, not about the need of them, but just about their position.
Am I only one who thinks that M55 should be foldered with M44?
I’m all for foldering them, but the RP requirements for these vehicles are so low, it’s not a big concern. The tree is a bit of a mess at that point, though. If M44 needs to head over to the M55, then why is the Breda in that line?
Breda 501 is placed in the right way imo, since it leads to all the other wheeled TDs/light tanks. About M44 I am not sure, honestly too much of lend lease vehicles create a bit of a mess inside the tree)
Yeah, I agree on that, I’ve played it myself a bit and M44 feels better because of RoF. On the other hand both can be higher in br, because basically nothing changes for them, while other 4.0 vehicles (like Breda 90/53, Zrinyi I and StuG IIIG) become more attractive.
Idk I find 105/25 cannon quite good and unlike for 75/34, penetration of APHEBC is good enough. Top speed should be the same 38 km/h, but with a bit worse acceleration compared to 75/34 M43.
In the worst scenario power to weight ratio ≈10.5 hp/t compared to 11.8 hp/t for 75/34 M43.
Not postwar monsters values, but rather acceptable.
meh, I prefer M55 to M44. Either way, looking at current foldered ground and air vehicles - the popularity or effectiveness of one vehicle has no bearing on whether a vehicle is to be foldered or not. And the lineup will be fun to use even when you’ve advanced far past it. So people will get both, anyway.
